1. The stimulatory effect of VIP on rat prostatic adenylyl cyclase changes during postnatal development. It peaks at 2 months (peripubertal period), remains in a plateau between 3 and 12 months (adult period), and decreases at 24 months (old period). 2. The stimulation of rat prostatic adenylyl cyclase by the beta-adrenergic agonist isoproterenol follows a pattern rather similar to that of VIP. 3. The values of VIP binding capacity correlate well with those observed for adenylyl cyclase between 1 and 12 months, whereas there appears to exist a great number of uncoupled VIP receptors at 0.5 and 24 months. 4. The apparent molecular mass (51 kDa) of the rat prostatic VIP-receptor complex remains unaltered during ontogenic development.

D008297 Male Males
D011467 Prostate A gland in males that surrounds the neck of the URINARY BLADDER and the URETHRA. It secretes a substance that liquefies coagulated semen. It is situated in the pelvic cavity behind the lower part of the PUBIC SYMPHYSIS, above the deep layer of the triangular ligament, and rests upon the RECTUM. Prostates
